I rarely use a bluetooth headset so I would like to spend as little as possible on it, hopefully less than $40. What are my options?

if you know a Store called Frys Electronics go there...most of the time they have a Bluetooth headset on sale below $40 like $29.99, $19.99 and 49.99 for holiday sale.....or check at http://outpost.com/

i got the samsung wep200, its probably the best bluetooth headset (comfort, quality on both ends, size, functionality) out of all the headsets i've ever had, tested, returned/tossed.

this is $100 headset with tax.

However, if you live by a Bestbuy, call them and see if they will price match an ad on Amazon.com, which they should.

they'll need a printout of the add, just go to amazon.com, type a search in for samsung wep 200, print out the ad (which it goes for $42.99), take it into Bestbuy, show them the ad, take it to the cashier, and there you go, you just saved $60! and in your price range of $40 for one of THE BEST bluetooth headsets.

i did this deal, and it was well worth it, even worth the $90 it goes for retail! its very very nice, with adjustable ear size hooks that line your inner ear for secure, comfortable fits.

^^ good to know ROX! i have the motorola H500 and it fits fine as long as i have shades on and it can fit behind the shades but once off, it flops around cuz there isn't anything holding it still...i'll have to check into the samsung...

I use the Samsung WEP 200 and I enjoy the size and the fact that I can hear well due to the type of earpiece it has.
However threre is a new one that just came out that is a newer model and is simular but had a different style earpiece.
If you can't handle something fitting inside your ear then stick to the Plantronics headsets. They make great headsets.

I have a Motorola HS 850, battery life is excellent (wish their phones were half as good). Boom Mic swings out to turn on and automatically connect to your BB. When you are done with the call, you can close the boom and it will automatically disconnect.

They have newer models with better battery life and slightly smaller, but for more $$.

This model is $30. Local wireless provider (mine is Cingular/AT&T) or Best Buy should have them. Easily found on Ebay as well.

Bumping this thread because I am also looking for a good headset to buy for around $20-$40. The Motorola HS 850, Samsung wep200, and the motorola h500 and h700, all look pretty good. Not sure which to go for.

I've used the H700 for over a year now and really like it. It is basically a smaller version of the H850. I believe there is a newer version out now going by the H710. Don't know anything about it other than what I've read here about it being pretty much the same as the 700.

I don't think you'll get the H700 for $20-$40, though. Cheapest I've seen the H700 is 69.99 which I think you can get from Sam's or Costco (which is where I got mine).

Don't know if the deal they mention above for the Samsung at Amazon is still there since that was over a year ago, but a quick Google search suggests there are various sites selling the Samsung WEP series pretty cheap.
